FR JOZO SCANDAL



Mostar, 7 February 2000

Prot.: 131/2000

Dear Father Franken,

I answer to your letter of 6 February 2000. Thank you for your book Een Reis naar Medjugorje, Van Spijk Venlo - Antwerpen, 1999. I hope to have an English version soon.

Regarding Father Fra Jozo Zovko, OFM, member of the Franciscan province of Herzegovina (several times mentioned in your book, especially p. 102), I am obliged to inform you that he was revoked of "every faculty and canonical mission in the diocese of Mostar-Duvno and Trebinje-Mrkan" by my predecessor Monsignor Pavao Zanic, who died on the last 11 January, in a letter of his Diocesan Chancery Office, Nr. 622/89, of 23 August 1989.

As the present diocesan bishop of these two dioceses of Herzegovina, I uphold this decision, and action. Furthermore, since he has heard confessions without the necessary faculty, he has also fallen into the penalties prescribed in canon 1378 § 2, 1 ยบ. I notified him of this in my letter, Nr. 423/94, of 14 June 1994.

The Congregation for the Evangelizatlon of the Peoples requested in 1990 that he went away from Medjugorje, into a "convento lontano", but he is still very involved in the Medjugorje affair, residing in Siroki Brijeg and visiting Medjugorje. Fr Jozo Zovko is a disobedient Franciscan.

Father Zovko is constructing a Convent of great proportions in Siroki Brijeg in this Diocese without the permission of the ecclesiastical authority. According to the project, of 1997, it costs about 8 millions DEM. From where, I do not know it.

Availing myself of this opportunity, I wish to express to you my regards and greetings,

Monsignor Ratko Peric
Bishop of Mostar-Duvno and
Administrator of Trebinje-Mrkan

Reverend Father Rudo Franken
Markt 7, 6088 BP Roggel

About Me

I am a recovering charismatic and a Catholic Orthodox; observing orthopraxis to the best of my ability. I acknowledge what the Church REALLY DOES TEACH; opposed to what some people erroneously say the Church teaches. “Catholic Orthodoxy” is proposed "to conform to the Catholic faith as taught by the Magisterium of the Church. So an "orthodox" person is one who is FAITHFUL to the teachings of the Church, whereas a "heterodox" person is somebody who rejects ANY Catholic dogma. Orthopraxis means "Performing the correct actions". Catholic Orthodoxy is defined by the Catechism: it tells us what we have to TO BELIEVE. Catholic Orthopraxis is denoted by the Code of Canon Law: it spells out what we have TO DO. Because “Truth is not determined by a majority vote" -- Pope Benedict XVI.
